Recently, I made the decision to unsubscribe from my own Mighty Caregivers community on Skool. That may sound surprising, but for me it was the right decision. It helped me realize something important about how I want to use Skool moving forward. I no longer see Skool as the place where I want to build my ministry. Instead, I see it as a place to discover people, ideas, and resources that can strengthen the work of Mighty Caregivers. The greatest value I have found is not in collecting members. It is in connecting with community leaders who genuinely care about helping others. I enjoy getting to know administrators who are creating safe spaces where people can grow, heal, and encourage one another. As I meet these leaders, I hope to introduce them to the growing Mighty Caregivers Circle. My vision has never been to compete with other communities. It is to build bridges between them. I am especially looking for communities that host live conversations on Zoom or Google Meet. While Skool is an excellent platform for organizing resources, I personally value the face to face conversations that happen through live video. Those moments create relationships, accountability, and encouragement that are difficult to replace. My goal is to build a growing network of trusted communities where caregivers and anyone seeking support can find meaningful connections. Rather than trying to create every resource myself, I want Mighty Caregivers to become a place where people can discover the people, organizations, and communities that are already making a difference. We all have something to offer. By working together instead of separately, we can reach more people, encourage more caregivers, and remind one another that none of us has to walk this journey alone. After all, that is what Mighty Caregivers has always been about: uniting people to support and care for one another.

@Mark Lawrence I love where you’re going with this. It made me think about The Mandalorian. He does not talk about the Force like Yoda, but if you watch closely, he is living something just as real. He listens. Not just with his ears, but with his actions. At first, he is guarded and focused on survival. But over time, through his connection with Grogu, he begins to trust what feels right. He does not call it the Force, but you can see it in the way he pauses instead of reacting, protects instead of walking away, and chooses connection over control. Even with his helmet on, he learns how to listen in a deeper way. He pays attention, adjusts, and moves toward what matters. It reminds me that listening takes intention. It means slowing down, noticing what is in front of you, and stepping in when it matters. The Mandalorian shows us that real connection is built one choice at a time. This is the way.

@Mark Lawrence thanks. The force be with you

@Mark Lawrence This is a really cool post (I love the Matrix) and it's a great way to think about it. You are awesome!

I do think this story is pointing to a deeper truth about attachment, meaning, and what is truly sacred. I am attached to many things. This got me thinking though, what am I attached to that matters. That is sacred.
